Figure-1: Monthly Crude Oil Production
Unit-wise production details with reasons for shortfall have been given below:
1.1 Crude oil production by ONGC in nomination block during April, 2020 was 1681.77 TMT which is 0.65% lower than the monthly target and 0.53% lower when compared with actual production in April, 2019. Reasons for shortfall in production are as under:
-
- Closure of wells in Western Offshore due to less offtake by M/s GAIL due to Covid-19 Lockdown.
- Restriction of movements for field operations in Onshore fields due to Covid-19 lockdown.
1.2 Crude oil production by OIL in the nomination block during April, 2020 was 248.25 TMT which is 0.9% lower than monthly target and 6.39% lower when compared with actual production in April, 2019. Reasons for shortfall in production are as under:
-
- Less than planned contribution from workover wells and drilling wells.
- Rise in water cut and decline in liquid production from existing wells.
- Loss of production due to nationwide lockdown for COVID-19 Pandemic.
1.3 Crude oil production by Pvt/JVs in the PSC regime during April, 2020 was 615.80 TMT which is 3.73% lower than the monthly target and 19.25% lower when compared with actual production in April, 2019. Reasons for shortfall in production are as under:
-
- RJ-ON-90/1- Mangala: Delay in hook-up of new wells, ESP failure, delay in workover wells revival and new injector due to COVID 19 impact. 
- RJ-ON-90/1- Bhagyam: Artificial lifts  malfunction & delayed start-up of full field polymer injection. 
- RJ-ON-90/1- Aishwarya: Delay in Lower Fatehgarh polymer FDP completion. ESP, Jet Pump failure in few wells. 
- RJ-ON-90/1- ABH: Delay in setting up permanent processing facility and COVID 19 also caused delay in hook-up of Pad-8 and Pad-3 planned in March end. 
- RJ-ON-90/1- Satellite Fields: Failure or flow cease in few wells. 
- AAP-ON-94/1: Low consumer demand- Covid -19 lockdown. 
- CB-ONN-2003/1: Less offtake due to COVID-19 lockdown. 
2. Production of Natural Gas
Natural gas production during April, 2020 was 2161.33 MMSCM which is 10.88% lower than the target for the month and 18.62% lower when compared with actual production in April, 2019. Unit-wise and state-wise natural gas production is given at Annexure-II. Unit-wise natural gas production for the month of April, 2020 vis-à-vis April, 2019 has been shown in Table-2 and month-wise in Figure-2.
